Yes, sometimes water even flows in the desert! On this short walk we follow the water as it meanders along Rattlesnake Canyon, joins with Sabino Creek, spills over the dam, and then branches off to a quieter pace.
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ~Lao Tzu

ReplyDeleteAwesome water shots. I was wondering why it's called Rattlesnake Canyon and I am hoping it has nothing to do with snakes!

Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful to see water in the desert, cactus and other suculents will start flowering soon and gras and bushes will become green for a while.
ReplyDeleteBut it can be dangerous, two friends of mine died years ago in South Amerika. They had a camp in a dry creak, far away it started rainig and the water washed them with the tend under their van.

Hartmut, I'm so sorry about your friends. Yes, water in the desert can be dangerous, there are many warning signs around here.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful place for a hike. Love the creek and the waterfalls.
